Manuel Soto, 17.

Angeleah James, 16.

All three suspects will be charged as adults, according to a news release from the Omaha Police Department.

Hill and Soto have been charged with one count of robbery and one charge of use of a weapon. James is charged with one count of robbery.

Officers responded to the area of 52nd Street and Northwest Drive at 7:05 a.m. after a robbery of a taxicab was reported, the release said.

The victim said she had traveled to the area of 151st and Edna streets to pick up a fare. She was met by a Hispanic female and two black men, who entered her cab, the release said. After completing the fare, one of the men struck the victim on the back of the head with a blunt object, demanded money and fled the area on foot.

Officers determined the suspects were in the area of 52nd and Boyd streets. Investigators arrived and established a perimeter on the residence while a search warrant was obtained, the release said.

While the house was under surveillance, a man inside the house called an outside contact, saying that he was armed and that if police entered the home, he would shoot them, the release said.

The Omaha Police Department SWAT team arrived and was able to talk the suspects into coming out of the house.
